Moving was a big hassle, and Wen Chuo followed the agent around a few times before finally settling on a place that he was satisfied to rent. The original owner had left some furniture in the space and they didn't bring too much luggage with them, but to move in and clean up, it still took quite a bit of time. In no time at all, half a month had already passed.
Two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. Wen Chuo set up one of the bedrooms as his streaming room: a computer and a background poster on the wall along with some other simple decorations, and it was done. He then finally went live again, ending the waiting period for all his screaming fans lying in wait for him to come back.
He had not updated his status in a long time and there were a million DMs piled up in his inbox. Wen Chuo looked over each one and found that the video and livestreaming platform, DK, had sent him an invitation to an event. It was mostly aimed at the big streamers in their gaming category, and the aim was to hopefully get them to interact with each other. After that, there would be some highlights cut out of their co-op stream, and using the view count and like ratio as the decider, letting the audience vote for their favorite, the event would end in a competition for a prize of a few thousand dollars and a promoting spot on the homepage.
No need to look into the details any further as with << Jue Jing >> as DK's sponsor, this was just another advertisement campaign.
This event was only for seven days, and today was the fifth day. Money was one thing, but the ability to be pushed onto the homepage as a gaming streamer was what caused a lot of fuss. Quite a few streamers banded together to pair up and did some wacky things to attract viewers. Only the top few popular streamers did not do anything.
Most of them already had quite a lot of popularity and made a name for themselves very early on. Being on the homepage, to them, was not a big deal. Whether they could be or not, it didn't matter to them. Wen Chuo had purely seen the news too late, as otherwise he would have really gone all out for that money prize.
Each streamer in their section actually had a lot of private interactions with each other. Some even specifically started group chats, but Wen Chuo at that time had not been too into socializing, so the streamers he knew were nil. Now that they would have to stream together, he didn't know who to find.
Without putting a lot of thought into it, he sent out a status in a call for help:
Today's friendly competition stream, any streamer who looks kindly on me, please DM me. The homepage will be yours, money's all mine (nibbling on melon seeds).
Wen Chuo was truly poor at this time. To rent the apartment, he had to pay half of the rent as a deposit upfront, so his wallet was now practically empty. Previously, all his status updates had been serious and few, as if they were gold, pasting on a very honest and earnest propriety to them that the sudden switch to this mischievous side, it did break his image a bit.
— K-Da you finally showed up. I thought you disappeared into the wind. If you need money, just holler. We'll spare you some change!
— Omona, that was so funny. Pretend all you want to be so cold and high up normally, but when it's desperate times, you can't even find someone huh. Wait a bit, I'm just creating a streamer account to help you. Hold up, wait for me!
— @Wan Ye @Chuo Dao Duan Shui @Mao Zi Shen Shi,1 come take a look, come take our family's main streamer, our child's too pitiful. Help out a little bit please, he only wants money.
These @'s didn't matter much, but a few minutes passed and an unimaginable person suddenly popped up......
Wan Ye: Already DM'ed. Whenever you want to go online. You set the time.
